She wants anyone who is pardoned by President Trump to face criminal charges yet again in New York.

Ben Shapiro writes: The “double-jeopardy loophole” is actually just called “double jeopardy” – you can’t be prosecuted twice for the same crime. And if you’re pardoned for a crime, you can’t be tried or jailed again for the same crime. The entire purpose of the Constitutional provision barring double jeopardy is to prevent the political prosecution of people for crimes for which they have already been acquitted. And the NY Attorney General is now explicitly calling for jailing people they don’t like politically.

New York is lost. When fools of the caliber of Barbara Underwood hold positions of authority like AG, you know it has gone too far. She’s a dangerous demagogue. The constitution can’t protect us with the likes of her in office.
